Queer History
Greece decriminalized consensual sex between men in 1951, though discriminatory provisions and policing outlasted that reform. Athens Pride began in 2005, civil unions opened to same-sex couples in 2015, and parliament enacted equal marriage and joint adoption in 2024.
Athens, Thessaloniki and islands such as Mykonos host visible LGBTQ+ scenes. Greece legalised same-sex marriage in 2024.
